I think I waited for over 15min. But I'll double check, thank you for reminding. But there's still an issue that the manual stop only works before programme end :-(

Have also had issues with video out of synch with audio since moving to Windows Vista SP2 and MP V 1.0.2.0 - have struggled to find other forums about this. I have the same Video and Audio codecs set...

Just going to throw this out there, but you don't want to hook up your PS2 through MP. MP buffers a couple of seconds worth of data, so you're never truly live. Now, interpret that when you're playing a video game and everything is going to seem lagged. You push up, and a couple of seconds later, you'll move up. Just a forewarning.

I tried this, but the KB package claimed that my versions of the said drivers were newer. It seems they are delivered in the SP2 payload. So far I'm confused, because my pause, rewind, back, menu, etc buttons are not working within MP.

As far as I'm aware, PowerDVD doesn't work with images or Daemon Tools. I could be wrong on this point though, or simply out of date. To use PowerDVD you will need to stick to an old version, or continually patch it when you update as HD-DVD support was dropped some time ago (pretty much imediately after Toshiba pulled the format)...

Hi there :) If you can attach that playlist here, one can have a look at why it is not functioning. Maybe some "my music" reference that is not available in MediaPortal. Guessing at this stage.

Hello, WebEPG is ported to TVServer in the latest SVN of MediaPortal. The only way to configure it is to open the TVServer configuration and enable it under the TVServer plugins, there you can access it's configuration as a plugin. Hope that helps.

I don't see why you couldn't. You could nlite all the components into your XP install, then once those are done in order, you could do the install. Or, you could tell your install to bring that file up once windows is installed. You could even integrate patches and drivers for your htpc components, so you don't have to mess with it...

The version of 1.0.2 linked from the main MediaPortal page is 1.0.2 FINAL. This is higher than RC3 which StreamedMP is looking for. As for upgrading, I've never been too happy about that and just do a fresh install whenever I update. This goes for most software unless the author has a proper update/patch mechanism.
